"Round or Square Bases?" Topic

I am working on a old school Chaos Dwarf army and I really want to do round bases for infantry, but also use movement trays.

What are your thoughts?

I have seen some rather neat ones where people have integrated some terrain to fit in some of the slots.

Looks good, go for it!

It's a good idea.

I have begun a (slow, really long-term) project to re-base all my chaos infantry (though probably not the dwarves) and slann on round bases.

Many of the chaos warriors almost need 30mm (or better) bases to "rank-up"; having the ability to rotate them to fit them all together on a sabot base such at the one you have here is invaluable.

With my slann, it has the additional bonus of making a an often high number of duplicate miniatures still look like irregular troops.

Look at Litko for movement trays.

I use square bases for "regulars" who move in cadenced movement of mass formations and round bases for "Irregular" forces such as levy/militia/barbarians.

It used to be if you were going to play Warhammer Fantasy Battle it made more sense to use square bases.

Not so much any more.

Go with what you like.

Litko has a wide array of movement trays for round bases in various sizes.

I am basing all my GW figures on round bases so that they can skirmish as well as rank up on trays. I have a large LOTR collection on round bases and I could never commit to rebasing them on square bases, so with the advent of AoS and death of WFB, I am going the other way and making everything on round. This has the added bonus of making my 500 D&D preprinted figures relevant.
